This cemetery has been known by several names. It has been called the Johnston Cemetery, the Hopkins
Cemetery, the Womack Cemetery, and now the sign on the fence says Woodbery-Womack Cemetery. There is
a post with a little box and information inside that says the contact person for donations to this cemetery is Frank
Miller, 3001 Lang Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32303, 850-562-0039.
The Woodbery-Womack Cemetery is about 2 miles north of Old Salem near Havana. Travel State
Road 12 west out of Havana for about one mile, turn right on Salem Road (Hwy. 159) and go about 2 miles.
Just as the road makes a long curve to the left, the cemetery is on the right side of the road. It has a chain
link fence around it and is clearly visible. It is about 3 acres in size, with lots of room between the stones. It
is a family cemetery.
